On the other side, allegations of execution-style killings of ethnic-Albanian men by Macedonian police in one village during last week's fighting highlight the danger that the conflict...
...plan is to expand rapidly, given the bargain prices available these days for factories and other manufacturing assets. And the combined company expects to save $100 million to $150 million a year, as it consolidates manufacturing and management. Says Furr: "If you look at where our strengths are, this combination is a perfect fit of global size and terrific young management in a business that is just going to keep growing...
